ACM get political, speak out against e-voting

September 29, 2004 Jason Kitcat

The Association for Computing Machinery have finally made a strong political statement against e-voting without a paper trail. The British Computer Society are going through a similar journey to the ACM, learning that they can and should get involved in policy debates. Why it took the computer societies so long to get political compared to other learned societies I don't know.
